Robust, easy-care and disease-resistant
Snowberries do not need much sun, nor does the soil need to be very nutritious. The care is also limited. Fertilizing and watering is necessary at best with freshly planted snow berries. Older plants can do without care.
Occasional cutting is used to shape the fast-growing shrub.
Snowberries are very rarely attacked by diseases. Rather, once aphids can be a problem. However, they can be very well controlled by lye from soft soap, stinging nettle broth or Rainfarntee.
Snowberries tend to proliferate
Above the subterranean sprouts, snowberries spread quite quickly in the garden, especially when the ground is very dry.
So that the pea peas does not proliferate too much, you should remove the creepers regularly.

The Knallerbse is only planted in Europe since the 19th century, but has settled in very quickly here. The berries were formerly used as a purging and laxative. However, this is not recommended because of the toxicity.
